>_< I GET 200kms per FULL tank

Killing me

R33 Gtst with PFC,POD,AVCR (10psi), full zorst, front mount, new sparkies,new fuel pump etc

Got a battery drain problem though, so maybe thats part of the problem, i put a brand new battery in a few months back, and it only lasts about 30hrs of not being driven, usually its not a prob. cos i ALWAYS drive it, but the car is having a rest while i wait for my new turbo so its dead :).

Check your current draw. You will continue to kill battries if there is something drawing current all the time...

Cheers... HOW?

I have a multimeter, but not sure how to use it (im an electrical spastic)

Think ive ruled out the alarm drawing power,

i thought my amp was responsible - but the remote wire is working and it turns off with the car

Not sure about anything else

I get between 450-475km for around 55 litres. I have an r34 Gt-T and although i have read that r34's have a full tank of 65 litres, by the time i hit the 450km mark the fuel needle is just about to pass the last white indicator line. Maybe i can do 500km but i dont want to risk it.

oh btw my car is full stock :dry:

Disconnect negative terminal, switch multimeter to amps, and put one wire to the terminal on the battery and one on the earth strap. Make sure doors are closed, lights are off. As you would lock up the car overnight. Do it with the alarm disarmed, and then arm it. It should drop very low.

Anything over 0.1 amps is too much. Generally it will be down around 0.02 if it's good. Some alarms draw quite a bit of current until they go to sleep which can take a few hours.

That was all highway driving but with some very spirited overtaking etc (hehe) I was surprised!

Mods are

pod, fmic, 3' turbo back, fuel pump and reg, Microtech LT12 tuned for eco and boost contrller at 12psi. and a new battery last week.

my last fill - was done when i had done 320 klms and filled up 51.36 ltrs (bp ultimate)

Previously it was 410klms at 46 or 47 ltrs (bp ultimate)

now im on shell optimax - see how much i can get when it gets to the empty line - will post the results.

hey guys, i got a N/A r33 - pretty much stock. i've only had it for about 3wks or so i can only give a rough estimate so far but it seems to drink petrol like theres no tomorrow?! i worked it out and i would roughly get around 250km's a tank???

this is with me driving like a grandma ALL the time - i havent floored it at all.

i have a suspicision there might be a problem somewhere, anyone know what it could be or is this normal for skylines and im gonna have a empty bank account from now on :D

I've found shell optimax to be quite crap on my car, get less K's out of a full tank thats for sure. Bp Ultimate all the way.

Dang mate, thats shocking for a NA skyline. I've steadily averaging around 450k's for 50L on BP Ultimate. Something is deifnitnely wrong if your babyin' your car and still getting that kinda milage. SOme ppl say check the o2 sensor, change the battery, get a proper tune. Maybe you could try some or all of them. But you should deinfitely be getting around or better fuel economy that us turbo users.

Just pumped up today - got 340 klms in 49.6 ltrs - so about 7klms/ltr of optimax

Looks like for some reason, I got better mileage out of ultimate...shoudl try that again to confirm....

Everyone needs to measure fuel economy consistently for this discussion to be of any use.

Next time you fill up, reset your trip meter. Drive. Next time you fill up, note how many litres go into the tank to fill it, and also how many km's are on the trip meter. Then do this calculation: litres / kms * 100 = your fuel economy in litres/100km.

Anyway my fuel economy (1995 R33 GTS25 - RB25DE) is as follows:

Best ever: 8.04L/100km (highway driving)

Average: 9.71L/100km (general around town driving)

Worst ever: 13.29L/100km (due to a skidpan day)

10.4ltrs / 100km for my trip last weekend but around town it is in the 12s.

Also I read a thread here about driving for eco and it works out better to drive just on boost rather than just off it as the AF ratio's are much better.

This is my spreadsheet that I'm keeping (for tax purposes anwyays). Really good to have one.

Day Amount Petrol Price Litres Status K's travelled Date Petrol Lasted (Days)

24/05/2006 $65.50 $1.424 46 Full Tank 352 30/05/2006 7

30/05/2006 $68.80 $1.419 48.5 Full Tank 440 4/06/2006 5

4/06/2006 $10.00 $1.490 6.7 Little 74 6/06/2006 1

6/06/2006 $77.00 $1.449 53.14 Full Tank 422 12/06/2006 7

12/06/2006 $75.00 $1.459 51.41 Full Tank 455 Still going

Totals $296.30 205.76 1743

Average $ per litre $1.44

Average Kilometers per litre 8.47

Average Kilometers per 10L 84.71

Litres per 100K 11.81

Also turns out that Wednesday morning is the cheapest day to fill petrol near my area. Dont save much (around $5 - $7) from a full tank, but at least its something.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
